From: Rick Anderson <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2014 00:33:55 +0000 I asked the Gates Foundation that question the other day, and got this answer: "We don¹t currently have a formalized method of tracking published research that we have funded, but based on the data available in Web of Science, a citation database, the foundation funded 2,802 research articles in 2012 and 2013. Of those, 863 (30%) were published in open access journals.² Rick Anderson Assoc.
